Ah, sorry about that. I should have done a little more homework before posting, but thanks for the reply. One of the websites said that only 3 or 4% of the population has my prescription, so I was worried I was reading it wrong. There seem to be a lot of "I don't understand my prescription" posts on this forum, maybe they could be compiled into a guide for the first-timers like myself. Thanks again. Tim
